Confere nce Theme
To Emphasize the
Future 25 Years
Bloomsburg State Teachers College will commemorate the twenty-fifth anniversary of the founding of its Department of Business
Education by.Dr. Harvey A. Andruss. when the Annual Conference
of the Eastern Division of the
Pennsylvania Business Education
On Saturday, April 15, seventeen students attended the Speech
and Hearing Conference at Pennsylvania State University. About
an equal number of students were
present from California S.T.C. and
Indiana S.T.C. Over one hundred
graduate and undergraduate students, in all, attended the conference. There were representatives from Bucknell University,
Mt. Mercy College and the University of Pittsburgh, also.
Robert Millard, B.S.T.C. '49,
from the Lancaster Cleft Palate
Clinic showed some high speed
x-ray films done in a research
proj ect at the clinic. Prof. Pat
O'Brien, B.S.T.C. '36, now in the
Speech Department at Penn State
University, was introduced at the
luncheon.
High point of the conference for
some of the students was having
the experience of stuttering as a
result of delayed feedback. Others
experienced skin conditioning as
they were tested for hearing threshold by the psychogalvanometer.
The pneumograph gave some students an idea of the breathing
process as it is related to speech.
Dr . Robert T. Oliver, Chairman
of the Speech Department, addressed the luncheon group on
"Communication: Our Common
Problem," and pointed out that
teachers in the field all seek to
help toward better communication .
Dr. Asa J. Berlin, Director of the
Summer Speech Clinic, conducted
an afternoon program in which
demonstrations of various types of
speech therapy were given. Dr.
Eugene T. McDonald, Director,
Speech and Hearing Clinic, spoke
about the work of diagnosis and
treatment.

A delight to modern eyes weary

classical decorations planned by
Joyce Buck, Roy Rosenberger and
their toga-clad committee members, Beverly Bryan, Lorraine
Deibert, Pasquale Gianguilio, Robert Hunt z, Theo Jones, Karol Ruppel, Tina Valente, and Jean Zimmerman.
Should the "hot" Grecian melodies of Tommy Donlin, secured
by Helene Clark and Mike Homick , overcome the Athenas and
Apollos, they can cool off with the
grape juice wine poured by Pat
Goditus and her goddesses, Jackie
Desmond, Ann Franc, Glenna Gebhard, Pat Hartman, Eleanor Nichols, and Ann Swortwood.
Rather than Hellenic scrolls, the
guests of this splendid affair will
prize their Grecian programs of
purple and silver, designed by Ed
Siscoe and Joanne Hester.
Any Homers or Platos who have
admired the eye-catching posters
scattered throughout the Parthanon Lounge and Banquet Hall
should direct their poetic credit
to Doris Krzywicki, ]im Starr, and
their publicity gods, Marion Duricko, Bryon Evans, Pat Goditus,
Mo Morson, and Joan Raap.
Since even the Greeks have to
clean up after their magnificant
parties, this royal j ob is left for
the poor host gods, Ray Edwards

At the risk of sounding a bit
modern and practical, the Junior
Greeks advise you to buy your
tickets for "The Grecian Dream "
while you still can from "Apollo"
Nicholas and his fellow gods, Marion Duricko, Ron Krafj ack, Lloyd

member of the mighty Grecian

it was difficult to spot the weakness of a certain committee. With

ONIONS to the men at Trinity
College who are sponsoring a
campaign aimed at eliminating
the "too casual" dress of college
men . Their program, "Dress For

big hit with the local boys. The
casual look has been with us too
long!!
ORCHIDS to "Soupy " Lepore,
'cause of all the orange Homburgs we've seen around campus. His is definitely the brightest!!
ONIONS to Craigie Dillon (Hoch's

freshly polished windows. We'll
have to call on Oggie to teach
Craigie that that j ust isn 't n ice!
ORCHIDS to the author of the
new proverb. . . "Beauty Is
More Than Skin Deep". For too
long we've forgotten that a
warm smile and a sparkle in the
eyes indicates that a good personality lies beneath the surface.
ONIONS to Jody Atkinson for
failing to learn the recipe printed in last weeks issue of LIFE.
"Pixie Pie" is the latest rage
among devoted new recipe testors. We're sure that HE would

What's your reaction to a Farmer 's Week-end? Are you all for

Louise La Sorsa: "I think that a
week-end of this type is very
nice for a change . It gives the
students interested in outdoor
activities, such as the hayride
and wiener roast, a chance to
participate in them as a group.
A square dance is always a lot
of f un and is certainly very fitting for such a week-end. I think
the week-end will be 'loads of
fun' for all who attend."
Jack Bushy : "It 's a good idea to
get a little life on campus, but
the dutch treat idea may backfire because the girls are too shy
to ask a boy out."
Harry Connor: "I am all for the
Far mer 's Week-end and hope it
is a great success. This will give
a chance to those students who
are always complaining about
the social life at B.S.T.C. an opportunity for them to stay and
participate in a very interesting
week-end. The social life here
is what we make it . Here 's hoping to see 'you-all' at the Farmer's Week-end."
Bobbi Roadside: "I think that the
Farmer 's Weekend sounds like
great fun—inexpensive too. My
only obj ection is to the switch
in who asks whom. Why can't *
the guys ask us? Girls wouldn't
mind bringing the food, but they
don 't cheer putting the stronger
sex on the spot."
Paul Anderson: "The Farmer's
Week-end is a very good idea.
If this succeeds, which it should,
I think an increased number of
these 'week-ends' will be on the
B.S.T.C. Social Calendar next
year. It would be nice if each
class would sponsor something
extra during the year besides
the usual dance."
Nancy Shipman: "Farmer 's Weekend is a real terrific idea, esspecially the plan for the girls
to invite the boys. Af t er all, a
girl doesn't get a chance like
that very of ten. Let's have many
more!"

CLUB HOUSE
BLOOMSBURG PLAYERS
A meeting of the Bloomsburg
Players was held April 12, 1955 in
Carver Auditorium. Members of
the Club participated in a study
in psychological drama. Volunteers
were given a situation which could
have several results; for example,
a man confronts his wife with the
derogatory rumors he had heard
about her. The participants then
acted out the situation without
use of scripts or props. The turns
such a situation can take at the
hands of the performers amused
the other club members. Besides
being amusing, however, this type
of drama is^also instructive in the
dramatic arts.

Chorus was held on Wednesday,
April 12 at 4 P.M. in Room 33 of

Keith Weiser is the only one of the four who has two varsity seasons

Another gentleman who placed in the State meet last spring was
Buzz Wool, the accelerated junior from the Cherry and White of Williamsport. Buzz walked off with two second places in his first attempt at
intercollegiate running, as he showed to advantage .in the mile and two
mile runs. This year Buzz has intimated that he intends to add the half
mile to his repertoire.
Al Tucker, another junior, is a sprinter from Coatesville, who won
his letter two years ago but pulled a muscle last spring which shelved
him for the season. Al will be used in the 100, 220, and the broad jump,
and if he is in shape he could add a good bit of balance to the squad.

Wagnerian Nine
Win Opener
Against Colonels
The 1955 edition of the Bloomsburg baseball Huskies got off to
a good start for their new baseball mentor, Doc Wagner, when
they defeated the Colonels of
Wilkes College on Saturday afternoon by a 5-4 count, at WilkesBarre's Kirby Park.
Rudy Holtzman, the port sider
from Clarks Summit, was the
starter and the winner for the
College Hill nine ; but, owing to
the damp spring air, the astute
Doc felt Rudy had better call it
quits after five innings. For the
j ob of saving the afternoon, Coach
Wagner called on the Husky bullpen for Jimmy Starr, and the
scale-model southpaw finished out
the last four innings by facing 14
batters and allowing only a single
hit .
Bloomsburg drew first blood in
th e cont est when , in t he top* half
of the fir st, Frankie Fisk j ingled
sharply through the box to give
the locals their first base runner
with only one out. Frank then
stole second base and was able to
keep right on going as Wilkes catcher Sokol's peg to the keystone
was over the heads of both Rescigno and Goobic. With two out
and Fisk on third, Harv "Rabbit"
Boughner, the Husky clean-up
batter and catcher, stepped to the
plate and delivered a ground single
on a two-one pitch that scored
Fisk for the first run of the game.
Wilkes came right back in their
half of the first .by the way of a
walk to lead-off man Rescigno.
Holtzman then atempted to pick
Rescigno off first but a high throw
in the run-down allowed the
Wilkes shortstop to take second.
An infield out by Sokol put Rescigno on third ,and Mel McNew's
sacrifice fly to deep left field gave
Rescigno and Wilkes their first
run.
Th e hosts scored again in the
fourth when third baseman Parsnick led off with a single to left.
Groblewski then put down the
bunt, and Holtzman elected to
throw to second but was too late,
and all hands were safe. Holtzman
got Weinberg to strike out but
Kachinsoky did the damage when
he singled on a 0-2 pitch, scoring
Groblewski with Wilkesl second
run .
In the Wilkes' half of the fifth
Sokol was able to get to second
by virtue of a two-base error on
the part of the Huskies. Sokol advanced to third on McNew's single
and scored on Ferris' infield out
to give Wilkes a commanding 3—1
lead.
In the top of the sixth the Lads
from the Hill rolled up their
sleeves and set to their task of
getting back in the ballgame. Harv
Boughner was the first batter, and
he drew a walk on five pitches.
Harv then stole second and, wit h
one gone, Big Bob Stroup sent a
sizzling single past second baseman
Goobic to score Boughner. Doc
Wagner 's percentage plays as he
pinch-hit for Bob Cumens and
drew a walk on four pitches. Terry
Zackowski was another of Doc
Wagner 's perceneage play s as he
pinch-hitted for Bob Cumens and
delivered with a solid single,
scoring Stroup and vindicating
Doc Wagner 's decision . With two
gone, Bobby Dipipi stepped in and
connected with his second hit of
the afternoon, scoring Boyle and
Zackowski and giving the locals
a lead they were never to lose
aeain
With a five to three lead, Jimmy
Starr was called in from the pen
to finish out the afternoon and
allow Rudy to rest his still-sore
throwing arm. Holtzman allowed
five hits in five innings, struck out
three, and walked two. Only one
earned run crossed the;, plate
during his tour of duty. Ruuy also
chipped in with two of the Huskies'
nine hits .
Jim Starr was outstanding in
his first relief chore as he got the
Colonels one-two-three In the
sixth; one-two-three in the
seventh; an error in the eighth allowed the Wilkes nine to get their
only base runners and only hit
(one) off the Williamsport ace, and
a second error , in the eighth
caused the fourth and final Wfikes
run , which was unearned. In the /
ninth Jim went back to work and
retired the Valley boys again in
one-two-three order.
For Bloomsburg, it was five runs
on nine hits and seven miscues
with eight men stranded . Wilkes
had four runs on six hits and three
errors, and nine men left on base.
The winner wah Rudy Holtzman,,
and the loser was Patterson . The
only extra base hit was a double

As of now, there are exactly sixteen (16) (XVI ) days of student
teaching left. Punch has a make shift calendar on the wall and each
night he comes home from Berwick we have a crossing off ceremony.
We had a big party when we burned March. Look out as April and May
pass.
I don't know what I'm so happy about, my number comes up in June
and I'll say one thing; I may not be the best physical specimen Dr.
Kuster ever saw, but when Tom Rowley went, all my hopes went up in
smoke. Tom's feet were so flat they were round on the bottom.
Joke: (Mother to little son) "Do you like your new nurse, dear?
(Small one) "No, I hate her. I'd like to grab her and bite her neck like
daddy does."
Only a few weeks of school, but lots of big events still to come. A
* Farmer's weekend with a square dance and I understand they're throwing aside all tradition and roasting real hot dogs. (Weiners to you
Biems) , and honest to goodness hay ride. I went on one once but things
got too hot for me. Some idiot set the hay on fire. You ever see horses
run 75 miles per ?
And what about this greasin dream the Juniors are holding? What
do you have to do, come loaded down with bear grease? The following
is in the form of an advertisement. "For Bear Grease see John ( Davy
Crochett) Angus, he killed him a bar when he was only 131V&. All seriousness aside now, don't miss the junior prom cause Bob Evans will be
there in a white sheet, just like a Grecian Lone Goddess!
Many colleges have a weekly magazine, many have semi-monthly or
monthly issues. We may have the honor of being the only school with an
annual magazine. You gotta figure that if it only comes once a year, it
should be chockfull of goodies. I understand,it comes out soon and will
. be on all the newsstanas for the price of a quarter. Get one Rogus and
read it to Prusch and Chick and Bobensky, they'll enj oy it' lots.
We got white rats at the high school for advanced biology and when
they came old Frank Buck Garinger had to reach in and get the first one
out . I got him out but with him hanging by sharp little incisors at the
end of my index finger. I wanted to shout and swear to break the things
neck , but I had to be calm and say, "Oh look children, the rat has
teeth, he's sinking them in my finger. Isn't he dear," etc. etc. After I
explained the phylum, class genus, and species he lets go mainly because he didn't want to drown in blood. I've made friends now though,
besides that, I wear gloves.
Word had it that if Biemsderfer (spelled1 not quite right I imagine)
ever gets sworn into another club, or is on the witness stand, he will tie
his left hand to his leg so he knows which one to raise. How'd you get
the average Biems ?
Ye olde baseball team started out well up at Kingston Saturday,
edging out the Wilkes Colonels 5-4. After 4 years I have come to the
conclusion that the Wilkians are not the greatest athletes we've ever
faced. Of course having only 8 guys out for baseball, and having to use
their athletic director as a right fielder might have something to do
with it.
I was supposed to tell something that was funny when I heard it but
I can't remember it quite. Something like Buck Harling sent his girl an
Easter egg with her name written in phonetics or something. This is
probably far from the original but you that knew will know and tell
others.
As of yet Charles and I have received no contracts to put Serutan job
on a record, but we are asked to sing it where ever we go. Both Al 's
and Hess's in fact . I still wonder what B. Buckingham was thinking
when we started; he didn't know that was going to happen. In fact we
didn't either for sure.
Well , now is the time for all good men to make up a Biology test.
Ever try asking 50 questions on Boots ? Try it.
This is my next-to-last column. My first one took me 4 days, this
took 43 minutes. This proves that the faster you can do things the poorer
they get. I leave with one thought. Men, does the thought of he Army
bother you? Then try the Navy or the Nescopeck bridge.
Thanks for the love, Mother,
Dad.
P.S. Else Punch pummels and kicks me, he has a girl, Sandy by name—
very nice, very intelligent except where boys are concerned, ( choice of
boys I mean) and Big John is finally happy, as peace settles over 208

Bloomsburg State Teachers College will commemorate the twenty-fifth anniversary of the founding of its Department of Business
Education by.Dr. Harvey A. Andruss. when the Annual Conference
of the Eastern Division of the
Pennsylvania Business Education
On Saturday, April 15, seventeen students attended the Speech
and Hearing Conference at Pennsylvania State University. About
an equal number of students were
present from California S.T.C. and
Indiana S.T.C. Over one hundred
graduate and undergraduate students, in all, attended the conference. There were representatives from Bucknell University,
Mt. Mercy College and the University of Pittsburgh, also.
Robert Millard, B.S.T.C. '49,
from the Lancaster Cleft Palate
Clinic showed some high speed
x-ray films done in a research
proj ect at the clinic. Prof. Pat
O'Brien, B.S.T.C. '36, now in the
Speech Department at Penn State
University, was introduced at the
luncheon.
High point of the conference for
some of the students was having
the experience of stuttering as a
result of delayed feedback. Others
experienced skin conditioning as
they were tested for hearing threshold by the psychogalvanometer.
The pneumograph gave some students an idea of the breathing
process as it is related to speech.
Dr . Robert T. Oliver, Chairman
of the Speech Department, addressed the luncheon group on
"Communication: Our Common
Problem," and pointed out that
teachers in the field all seek to
help toward better communication .
Dr. Asa J. Berlin, Director of the
Summer Speech Clinic, conducted
an afternoon program in which
demonstrations of various types of
speech therapy were given. Dr.
Eugene T. McDonald, Director,
Speech and Hearing Clinic, spoke

A delight to modern eyes weary

classical decorations planned by
Joyce Buck, Roy Rosenberger and
their toga-clad committee members, Beverly Bryan, Lorraine
Deibert, Pasquale Gianguilio, Robert Hunt z, Theo Jones, Karol Ruppel, Tina Valente, and Jean Zimmerman.
Should the "hot" Grecian melodies of Tommy Donlin, secured
by Helene Clark and Mike Homick , overcome the Athenas and
Apollos, they can cool off with the
grape juice wine poured by Pat
Goditus and her goddesses, Jackie
Desmond, Ann Franc, Glenna Gebhard, Pat Hartman, Eleanor Nichols, and Ann Swortwood.
Rather than Hellenic scrolls, the
guests of this splendid affair will
prize their Grecian programs of
purple and silver, designed by Ed
Siscoe and Joanne Hester.
Any Homers or Platos who have
admired the eye-catching posters
scattered throughout the Parthanon Lounge and Banquet Hall
should direct their poetic credit
to Doris Krzywicki, ]im Starr, and
their publicity gods, Marion Duricko, Bryon Evans, Pat Goditus,
Mo Morson, and Joan Raap.
Since even the Greeks have to
clean up after their magnificant
parties, this royal j ob is left for
the poor host gods, Ray Edwards
and Bob Evans.
At the risk of sounding a bit
modern and practical, the Junior
Greeks advise you to buy your
tickets for "The Grecian Dream "
while you still can from "Apollo"
Nicholas and his fellow gods, Marion Duricko, Ron Krafj ack, Lloyd

member of the mighty Grecian

it was difficult to spot the weakness of a certain committee. With

one man is responsible for an assignment , effort is more concentrated and the proverbial "redtape" is eliminated. Can the number of committees we now have be

spring season off to a fine start
with his good looking tan, two

ORCHIDS to Ron (Greek II) Behers fbr partying Nick from
Miami U., for a straight 24
hours. Two matinees and a
Thursday night double feature.
. . . dear , dear , dear, dear!!
ONIONS to the men at Trinity
College who are sponsoring a
campaign aimed at eliminating
the "too casual" dress of college
men . Their program, "Dress For
Success," doesn't make such a
big hit with the local boys. The
casual look has been with us too
long!!
ORCHIDS to "Soupy " Lepore,
'cause of all the orange Homburgs we've seen around campus. His is definitely the brightest!!
ONIONS to Craigie Dillon (Hoch's
grandson ) for smearing his tiny
hands all over North Hall's
freshly polished windows. We'll
have to call on Oggie to teach
Craigie that that j ust isn 't n ice!
ORCHIDS to the author of the
new proverb. . . "Beauty Is
More Than Skin Deep". For too
long we've forgotten that a
warm smile and a sparkle in the
eyes indicates that a good personality lies beneath the surface.
ONIONS to Jody Atkinson for
failing to learn the recipe printed in last weeks issue of LIFE.
"Pixie Pie" is the latest rage
among devoted new recipe testors. We're sure that HE would
like it too!!
ORCHIDS to our Co-ed of the
Year, Bobbi Roadside, for obtaining the j ob she always longed for . . . the honor of being a
waitress for the Watson 's of
Ocean City fame .
ONIONS t o "Biems", better
known as "Brahma". At the
Phi Sig initiations last Wednesday the Pledges were asked to
raise their right hand to take
their oath. With all the confidence in the world he raised his
lef t hand . . . then he wondered
why everyone laughed . Oh My!!
ORCHIDS to Joanie Christi for
her brave remarks at the close
of our last College Council meeting. That, by the way, was the
warmest . . . in fact, the HOTTEST meeting we've had in a
long time!!
ONIONS to Swarthmore College
for hitting the headlines with
their Farmer's Weekend j ust
one week before our Frosh pre sent their version. At Swarthmore it's a big tradition . . .

Louise La Sorsa: "I think that a
week-end of this type is very
nice for a change . It gives the
students interested in outdoor
activities, such as the hayride
and wiener roast, a chance to
participate in them as a group.
A square dance is always a lot
of f un and is certainly very fitting for such a week-end. I think
the week-end will be 'loads of
fun' for all who attend."
Jack Bushy : "It 's a good idea to
get a little life on campus, but
the dutch treat idea may backfire because the girls are too shy
to ask a boy out."
Harry Connor: "I am all for the
Far mer 's Week-end and hope it
is a great success. This will give
a chance to those students who
are always complaining about
the social life at B.S.T.C. an opportunity for them to stay and
participate in a very interesting
week-end. The social life here
is what we make it . Here 's hoping to see 'you-all' at the Farmer's Week-end."
Bobbi Roadside: "I think that the
Farmer 's Weekend sounds like
great fun—inexpensive too. My
only obj ection is to the switch
in who asks whom. Why can't *
the guys ask us? Girls wouldn't
mind bringing the food, but they
don 't cheer putting the stronger
sex on the spot."
Paul Anderson: "The Farmer's
Week-end is a very good idea.
If this succeeds, which it should,
I think an increased number of
these 'week-ends' will be on the
B.S.T.C. Social Calendar next
year. It would be nice if each
class would sponsor something
extra during the year besides
the usual dance."
Nancy Shipman: "Farmer 's Weekend is a real terrific idea, esspecially the plan for the girls
to invite the boys. Af t er all, a
girl doesn't get a chance like
that very of ten. Let's have many
more!"

BLOOMSBURG PLAYERS
A meeting of the Bloomsburg
Players was held April 12, 1955 in
Carver Auditorium. Members of
the Club participated in a study
in psychological drama. Volunteers
were given a situation which could
have several results; for example,
a man confronts his wife with the
derogatory rumors he had heard
about her. The participants then
acted out the situation without
use of scripts or props. The turns
such a situation can take at the
hands of the performers amused
the other club members. Besides
being amusing, however, this type
of drama is^also instructive in the
dramatic arts.

campus schedules to take advantage of the Russian visit. Over 80
colleges and universities have extended invitations to the editors.
The Institute was asked by the
Department of State to arrange

to give Coach Shelly only four seasoned candidates with which to mold
his aggregation that will entertain Lock Haven's Bald Eagles on Tuesday, April 26.
Keith Weiser is the only one of the four who has two varsity seasons
to his credit , and, of course, will be after a third. Keith was able to
muster a» tie for second place last spring in the State Meet and as a
"frosh" took a fifth place in his speciality the high j ump . Keith has
placed in every meet in his two years of leaping over the bamboo bar
and is considered by many local experts to be ripe for the State high
iumr> crown.
Another gentleman who placed in the State meet last spring was
Buzz Wool, the accelerated junior from the Cherry and White of Williamsport. Buzz walked off with two second places in his first attempt at
intercollegiate running, as he showed to advantage .in the mile and two
mile runs. This year Buzz has intimated that he intends to add the half
mile to his repertoire.
Al Tucker, another junior, is a sprinter from Coatesville, who won
his letter two years ago but pulled a muscle last spring which shelved
him for the season. Al will be used in the 100, 220, and the broad jump,
and if he is in shape he could add a good bit of balance to the squad.
Another letter winner of two years ago is Jim Browning, who had

Wagnerian Nine
Win Opener
Against Colonels
The 1955 edition of the Bloomsburg baseball Huskies got off to
a good start for their new baseball mentor, Doc Wagner, when
they defeated the Colonels of
Wilkes College on Saturday afternoon by a 5-4 count, at WilkesBarre's Kirby Park.
Rudy Holtzman, the port sider
from Clarks Summit, was the
starter and the winner for the
College Hill nine ; but, owing to
the damp spring air, the astute
Doc felt Rudy had better call it
quits after five innings. For the
j ob of saving the afternoon, Coach
Wagner called on the Husky bullpen for Jimmy Starr, and the
scale-model southpaw finished out
the last four innings by facing 14
batters and allowing only a single
hit .
Bloomsburg drew first blood in
th e cont est when , in t he top* half
of the fir st, Frankie Fisk j ingled
sharply through the box to give
the locals their first base runner
with only one out. Frank then
stole second base and was able to
keep right on going as Wilkes catcher Sokol's peg to the keystone
was over the heads of both Rescigno and Goobic. With two out
and Fisk on third, Harv "Rabbit"
Boughner, the Husky clean-up
batter and catcher, stepped to the
plate and delivered a ground single
on a two-one pitch that scored
Fisk for the first run of the game.
Wilkes came right back in their
half of the first .by the way of a
walk to lead-off man Rescigno.
Holtzman then atempted to pick
Rescigno off first but a high throw
in the run-down allowed the
Wilkes shortstop to take second.
An infield out by Sokol put Rescigno on third ,and Mel McNew's
sacrifice fly to deep left field gave
Rescigno and Wilkes their first
run.
Th e hosts scored again in the
fourth when third baseman Parsnick led off with a single to left.
Groblewski then put down the
bunt, and Holtzman elected to
throw to second but was too late,
and all hands were safe. Holtzman
got Weinberg to strike out but
Kachinsoky did the damage when
he singled on a 0-2 pitch, scoring
Groblewski with Wilkesl second
run .
In the Wilkes' half of the fifth
Sokol was able to get to second
by virtue of a two-base error on
the part of the Huskies. Sokol advanced to third on McNew's single
and scored on Ferris' infield out
to give Wilkes a commanding 3—1
lead.
In the top of the sixth the Lads
from the Hill rolled up their
sleeves and set to their task of
getting back in the ballgame. Harv
Boughner was the first batter, and
he drew a walk on five pitches.
Harv then stole second and, wit h
one gone, Big Bob Stroup sent a
sizzling single past second baseman
Goobic to score Boughner. Doc
Wagner 's percentage plays as he
pinch-hit for Bob Cumens and
drew a walk on four pitches. Terry
Zackowski was another of Doc
Wagner 's perceneage play s as he
pinch-hitted for Bob Cumens and
delivered with a solid single,
scoring Stroup and vindicating
Doc Wagner 's decision . With two
gone, Bobby Dipipi stepped in and
connected with his second hit of
the afternoon, scoring Boyle and
Zackowski and giving the locals
a lead they were never to lose
aeain
With a five to three lead, Jimmy
Starr was called in from the pen
to finish out the afternoon and
allow Rudy to rest his still-sore
throwing arm. Holtzman allowed
five hits in five innings, struck out
three, and walked two. Only one
earned run crossed the;, plate
during his tour of duty. Ruuy also
chipped in with two of the Huskies'
nine hits .
Jim Starr was outstanding in
his first relief chore as he got the
Colonels one-two-three In the
sixth; one-two-three in the
seventh; an error in the eighth allowed the Wilkes nine to get their
only base runners and only hit
(one) off the Williamsport ace, and
a second error , in the eighth
caused the fourth and final Wfikes
run , which was unearned. In the /
ninth Jim went back to work and
retired the Valley boys again in
one-two-three order.
For Bloomsburg, it was five runs
on nine hits and seven miscues
with eight men stranded . Wilkes
had four runs on six hits and three
errors, and nine men left on base.
The winner wah Rudy Holtzman,,
and the loser was Patterson . The
only extra base hit was a double

As of now, there are exactly sixteen (16) (XVI ) days of student
teaching left. Punch has a make shift calendar on the wall and each
night he comes home from Berwick we have a crossing off ceremony.
We had a big party when we burned March. Look out as April and May
pass.
I don't know what I'm so happy about, my number comes up in June
and I'll say one thing; I may not be the best physical specimen Dr.
Kuster ever saw, but when Tom Rowley went, all my hopes went up in
smoke. Tom's feet were so flat they were round on the bottom.
Joke: (Mother to little son) "Do you like your new nurse, dear?
(Small one) "No, I hate her. I'd like to grab her and bite her neck like
daddy does."
Only a few weeks of school, but lots of big events still to come. A
* Farmer's weekend with a square dance and I understand they're throwing aside all tradition and roasting real hot dogs. (Weiners to you
Biems) , and honest to goodness hay ride. I went on one once but things
got too hot for me. Some idiot set the hay on fire. You ever see horses
run 75 miles per ?
And what about this greasin dream the Juniors are holding? What
do you have to do, come loaded down with bear grease? The following
is in the form of an advertisement. "For Bear Grease see John ( Davy
Crochett) Angus, he killed him a bar when he was only 131V&. All seriousness aside now, don't miss the junior prom cause Bob Evans will be
there in a white sheet, just like a Grecian Lone Goddess!
Many colleges have a weekly magazine, many have semi-monthly or
monthly issues. We may have the honor of being the only school with an
annual magazine. You gotta figure that if it only comes once a year, it
should be chockfull of goodies. I understand,it comes out soon and will
. be on all the newsstanas for the price of a quarter. Get one Rogus and
read it to Prusch and Chick and Bobensky, they'll enj oy it' lots.
We got white rats at the high school for advanced biology and when
they came old Frank Buck Garinger had to reach in and get the first one
out . I got him out but with him hanging by sharp little incisors at the
end of my index finger. I wanted to shout and swear to break the things
neck , but I had to be calm and say, "Oh look children, the rat has
teeth, he's sinking them in my finger. Isn't he dear," etc. etc. After I
explained the phylum, class genus, and species he lets go mainly because he didn't want to drown in blood. I've made friends now though,
besides that, I wear gloves.
Word had it that if Biemsderfer (spelled1 not quite right I imagine)
ever gets sworn into another club, or is on the witness stand, he will tie
his left hand to his leg so he knows which one to raise. How'd you get
the average Biems ?
Ye olde baseball team started out well up at Kingston Saturday,
edging out the Wilkes Colonels 5-4. After 4 years I have come to the
conclusion that the Wilkians are not the greatest athletes we've ever
faced. Of course having only 8 guys out for baseball, and having to use
their athletic director as a right fielder might have something to do
with it.
I was supposed to tell something that was funny when I heard it but
I can't remember it quite. Something like Buck Harling sent his girl an
Easter egg with her name written in phonetics or something. This is
probably far from the original but you that knew will know and tell
others.
As of yet Charles and I have received no contracts to put Serutan job
on a record, but we are asked to sing it where ever we go. Both Al 's
and Hess's in fact . I still wonder what B. Buckingham was thinking
when we started; he didn't know that was going to happen. In fact we
didn't either for sure.
Well , now is the time for all good men to make up a Biology test.
Ever try asking 50 questions on Boots ? Try it.
This is my next-to-last column. My first one took me 4 days, this
took 43 minutes. This proves that the faster you can do things the poorer
they get. I leave with one thought. Men, does the thought of he Army
bother you? Then try the Navy or the Nescopeck bridge.
Thanks for the love, Mother,
Dad.
P.S. Else Punch pummels and kicks me, he has a girl, Sandy by name—
very nice, very intelligent except where boys are concerned, ( choice of
boys I mean) and Big John is finally happy, as peace settles over 208
